New Music: The Weeknd & Kendrick Lamar – Pray For Me

The Weeknd and Kendrick Lamar look for salvation on their powerful new collaboration “Pray For Me.” After connecting on “Sidewalks” off Abel’s third album Starboy, the XO boss and TDE leader pitch a commanding message on the latest release off Black Panther: The Album.

Produced by Matt Schaeffer, Cardo, Cubeatz, and Sounwave, the track is led with static filled percussion and cinematic synths. The Weeknd opens with a harmonic chorus, “Who gon’ pray for me? / Take my pain for me? / Save my soul for me? / ‘Cause I’m alone you see,” he sings.
